Thanks Helen! The only thing I’m not looking forward to is a 4:30am alarm so I can get Linda to the surgical center by 5:30am.

Thanks for the update Marietta. I am thinking of you and Charlie today. By the way Charlie was my dad's name and I am very fond of that name. Explains why our male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is named Charlie.

@jagsfan Mimi I am thinking of you and hope you are getting the care you need. Keep us posted.

Done! I hope everything turns out ok. I will thinking of you and Charlie. Praying.

Great suggestions. Thank you Maryann!

No inside information but obviously I’m interested to see if Mahomes will win anything. Tight end Travis Kelcie is a presenter and he is always entertaining. Seeing Damar will be emotional.

I don’t usually watch either but I’ll be watching tonight for this and several other reasons. 😉 We have several baby frogs and they drive the dogs nuts. I’m afraid Charlie will try and eat it so i usually sweep them to an area the dogs can’t get to them. We have several baby deer that come through the yard. They are very cute. We do have a huge 4 foot long black snake that lives under the patio. While discerning he keeps the mice population down. Only have seen a couple of hummingbirds even though I have two feeders.

I guess one day at a time. Hope home PT helps Lenny.

Thanks Lenny. I hope you are doing fine.

Thank you so much Judy!

I do love my family here. Thank you.

Thanks Bonnie! Thank you Graham! I wouldn’t mind waking up to that every day. Thanks Andrew! Totally agree. Pain is not fun.

Looks like my kinda place.

I will consider it, Thank you Helen. Thanks Debbie!

Thank you!!

Thanks, I’ll send her your message. I know she will appreciate it.

Totally agree. It’s amazing how well people can get along when respecting kindness. Being nice is the key.

@Lionesss Thanks Sue. I feel very comfortable sharing my life with my dear friends here.

Thanks Deb! Just being on a ship in the Caribbean will be good therapy for us.

Just an update (no need for well wishes or anything it's just part of life getting older) as Linda is now scheduled to have hand surgery Friday on her right thumb where she has no cartilage and severe arthritis. I guess they will cut a tendon in her arm and roll it up and use it as cartilage for her thumb. She will not be able to lift anything with that hand for 3 months. She should be ready to go for our October cruise. I meet with knee surgeon next week but I am very doubtful I can get a total knee replacement scheduled with enough time to rehab before our cruise. So I may have to get some more injections to tie me over until after. I'm in a lot of pain and it is tough walking now after the previous injections have worn off but hey I'm used to pain so I will grin and bear it. Not looking for any sympathy or anything as I just like keeping my dear friends here updated on whats going on, since I will playing nurse to Linda. The only thing I am not looking forward to is that she has to be at the hospital at 5:30am this Friday. That will be no fun. Cheers!

Best sound in the world. When my son played I hated the sound of "chink" with metal ones.

Indeed very beautiful! Have a great day.

Grest uncle and a lesson for all of us. I’m glad you could spend time with family.

Wow that’s great! I’ll be on Beyond next April. Hopefully they will have some.

Give Eric a hug from me and let him know that I am very sorry for the loss of his very dear friend.
